What Size Soccer Ball Should I Buy?

SOCCER BALL SIZE CHART

Players ages 8 and under should use a junior size 3 ball. It’s critical we give younger players the right size ball. If we give them a ball that is too big for their feet or too heavy for their legs, they are more prone to injuries and won’t have the success of kicking or dribbling a ball. We want to make sure to create a fun environment for these beginners!
